My brother is the definition of Normie. Christian Conservative, traditionalist, Fox News believing, got to go with DeSantis because Trump is too devicive, salt of the earth kind of guy who thinks me a batshit crazy tin foil hat conspiracy nut.
While discussing the unfathomable ability of Russia to fail to take over Ukraine in a month much less a year, he dropped his own conspiracy theory on me. It kinda shook me up.
What if Russia and China are colluding to completely take over America by prolonging the war in Ukraine until October of 2024 when Biden will make a master stroke peace settlement and be reelected along with retaking Congress in order to seal the fate of America once and for all?
Ed Dowd kinda touched on this towards the end of his interview with Tucker Carlson. That a lot of what we are seeing is smoke screen for the upcoming debt default. Bad actors taking advantage, bot planning. He doesn't see it as guys in the back room with cigars manipulating everything so to speak, but that may come from a cynical background in his job as an analyst (what are you going to lie to me about today Mr. CEO?) Or he was fibbing a little himself. But if your brother, u/revised2, is Fox watching normie, might be a good discussion point for other topics.
